Snow Day!!!

I LOVE snow and I recently was lamenting about our lack of snow this winter. Usually we don't get much, but we pull out a few snow days every year. This winter we haven't had a snow day yet. Well last week it finally happened. SNOW DAY!
The kids were pretty excited and we got up bright and early to go outside and play.I took this one of Carissa down at the park. She also loved making snow angels in the scant inch of snow we had. Tristan tried and tried to make snowballs. It wasn't good snowball snow, but he gave it his all anyways.
Chase was a bit everywhere and getting photos of him was hard! I was able to grab these two though. The second one looks like he's got a giant, perfectly formed snowball but really it was just a white volleyball someone had left at the park. LOL
The neighbor kids came to the park when we did and they all decided to split up for a capture the flag snowball fight. The boys had the "high ground" up on the play structure...
... while the girls had the low ground in the field. The boys had the flag (i.e. the volleyball) and the girls battled to capture it. They finally did, just as the snow started furiously melting. Within an hour the snow was gone! Bummer... but we still got a snow day out of it. :)
